An Open Letter To My Guy Best Friend

Here's to breaking the stereotypes.

For some reason, there's a stigma that a boy and girl cannot just be friends without everyone thinking that they're dating. I can honestly say that many people were never satisfied with us just being friends and always hassled us about dating and being in love with each other. Yes, we love each other, but not in the relationship aspect. You're my rock, my best friend, and my other half. So, here's to you, and being the best friend any one could ever ask for.

Thank you for always making me laugh until I cry. Whenever you sense I’m in a bad mood, rather than having me talk it out, you try to make me feel better- usually with stupid jokes, terrible singing, and hideous SnapChats. You always know the right thing to say to put a smile on my face and to make my stomach hurt from laughter. Sometimes, we won't even say anything to each other, and will just sit and laugh endlessly at absolutely nothing.

Thank you for being there at all hours of the day. Through all the boy drama, school stress, and family issues, sometimes it seems like no one cares. You always make it a point to show that you'll always be there for me by constantly checking up on me. I know you're the first person that I can turn to for everything and anything; whatever time of day it is. I’m afraid to bother other people with my problems, but you’re always more than willing to talk to me and give me advice. You've shown me my worth and importance. You rationalize everything I say and talk sense into me when I’m being ridiculous - which is more often than I like to admit :P.

Thank you for never giving up on our friendship and always encouraging me. We can go days without speaking, and then pick back up right where we last left off. Thank you for always being positive and optimistic even in those times where I think it's the end of the world. It’s a reminder for me to stay strong when things aren’t looking too great because the storm will always pass. With struggle comes strength and you've always make sure to help me imagine a more positive outcome.

Thank you for being an all round amazing person and friend. I am so blessed to be able to call you my best friend for the past nine years. Your generosity and work ethic is inspiring. You're constantly bettering yourself and the people around you. You've helped shaped me into the person I am today and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

Thank you for sticking by my side all of this time. I know I’m a lot to handle, and I’m sure I annoy the hell out of you all the time. So thanks for (somewhat) putting up with me and never taking my sarcasm too seriously.

I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. It means so much to me knowing we’ll be friends forever, (haha you're stuck with me forever), and you’re always just a call or text away.

Love always,

Your bestfran (because friend has end in it)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
